I want to come back to Mr. Cunniffe and our offshore energy potential. I represent coastal and rural communities and the potential is enormous. Will Mr. Cunniffe detail the barriers? He mentioned earlier that he does not see us achieving the 2030 targets given our strategic approach. What are the barriers? What countries has he visited or seen which do offshore energy well? How do they support their coastal communities? How has he seen coastal communities change? I ask him to give me a vision of what it could be, if we get to that stage.
